We Hit A MILLION!...
 hornsbychamber.com.au
It’s official, hornsbychamber.com.au reached One Million Hits over a 12 month period.
This ‘Magazine Style’ Community Website owned by Hornsby & District Chamber of Commerce & Industry has grown in popularity every year since it entered cyberspace in 2001.
“How great is this for a community based website!”, commented, Hornsby Chamber President, Greg Bepper.
“Considering this website is not affiliated with any highly ranked site, these are fantastic figures”
Hornsby Chamber puts this milestone moment down to providing not only constant, Chamber news and local business information but providing community happenings and event reviews, local police reports & alerts and Shire project initiatives.
This site also provides an easy access to facilities such as, weather forecasts and now the recently added printable version of movie screenings and session times at Greater Union Hornsby.
Now it a great opportunity to become a Website Sponsor.
